We all want to build a castle.
Did your castle fill all your needs, desires and dreams?
Was it built on a solid foundation and gave you everything needed to make you whole?
Are you a great magician?
You built a castle like the ones before you have, was it just the same?
It was a safe bet to gamble on.
Did you build it on truth or was it just a cute illusion for all to see?
Did you fill it with all you ever wanted? Did it meet all your expectations?
Did you love it like a pretty snow globe? When you shook it up did it sparkle with brilliant glitter?
Place a crown on true royalty? Not all that glitters is gold.
Was it all you ever wanted?
Did the candle flame feed the fire when it got cold? Did it keep you safe and warm?
Did it live up to the fantasy? Does it live up to all it's glory and give you great joy? Did it make your heart feel whole?
Do ghosts haunt your castle? Do they whisper out to you and live in your dreams as you sleep? 🌹
